Original show description below.

With “a wide harmonic palette, a sophisticated rhythmic sensibility and a refined sense of dynamics, along with an urge to swing” (DownBeat), flutist and composer Lori Bell brings her quartet The Modern Line for this celebration of Joe Henderson and more.

A San Diego-based artist originally hailing from Brooklyn, Bell is a three-time recipient of the Global Music Award who has released a dozen albums in jazz and classical settings since her 1992 debut. Her 2016 album Brooklyn Dreaming is a loving tribute to her family and birthplace was named to “Best of the Year” lists from the Huffington Post and DownBeat, who enthused, “Bell flaunts prodigious chops on both C flute and alto flute, though her pen might be mightier than her sword. Her originals all reveal a wide harmonic palette, a sophisticated rhythmic sensibility and a refined sense of dynamics, along with an urge to swing.”

Featuring a monster lineup including pianist Josh Nelson (Natalie Cole, Tom Scott), bassist Owen Clapp, and drumming wizard Brian Fishler, The Modern Line is a supercharged quartet that mixes original compositions with reimagined versions of material by Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw, and Bill Evans.

Her trombone is world-class, but her singing voice is another thing entirely, an empathic entity that channels the ages.
